The incident took place on the night of Saturday, Dec.

Grigory Leps, after an unsuccessful concert in honor of his 60th anniversary in St. Petersburg, which he was forced to interrupt due to “poor health,” went to one of the city’s restaurants.

Later, a video of a brawl appeared in the media, in which the notorious performer, his guards and a visitor to the establishment participated. In the video you can see how the guards tried to separate Grigory Leps and the bar client. After some time, the security guard struck the visitor in the head, and the Russian performer began to “finish off” with his feet the man who had fallen on the asphalt.

The scandal with Leps occurred near the Irish pub “Finnegans”. Before the brawl, the performer drank 9 servings of 16-year-old Lagavulin whiskey and 5 servings of Glenmorangie, and ate an apple as a snack.

In connection with the fight, a criminal case was opened under Article 115 Part 2 “Intentional infliction of minor harm to health for hooligan reasons.”

“The victim noted that that night he was playing backgammon in a bar, Leps came in, and everything was fine until Grigory offered to play for $10 thousand, showing a wad of five thousand dollars tied with an elastic band. The visitor immediately admitted that he would really like to, but he’s not ready to bet such a sum, because he doesn’t have that much and doesn’t expect to... Then the arguments began, then Leps slapped the guest in the face, then all the participants in the dispute went outside - the visitor, Leps, security guard, and then – you already enjoyed it in the video – two more guards joined,” Fontanka describes one version of the fight.
